Yes — Dip & Crunch is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Dip & Crunch is ultra-processed because it contains emulsifying salts (polyphosphates), which are industrial additives used to modify and stabilize the cheese spread. It also contains natural flavouring in the breadsticks, an extracted flavour additive characteristic of ultra-processed formulations. These ingredients lead to a UPF classification, although the product also includes more conventional ingredients such as wheat flour, sunflower oil, butter, milk, cheese, salt, and yeast.
Other dairy, eggs & yoghurt Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Dip & Crunch by The Laughing Cow is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Dip & Crunch is ultra-processed because it contains emulsifying salts (polyphosphates), which are industrial additives used to modify and stabilize the cheese spread. It also contains natural flavouring in the breadsticks, an extracted flavour additive characteristic of ultra-processed formulations. These ingredients lead to a UPF classification, although the product also includes more conventional ingredients such as wheat flour, sunflower oil, butter, milk, cheese, salt, and yeast.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
